You said that we should not think that whatever is happening is happening by the will of God, then why did Lord Sri Krishna tell Sri Aurobindo in Alipore Jail that whatever a man may think or do, he cannot do anything except helping my purpose. So Lord Sri Krishna told Arjun in the Gita that I am situated in the heart of all living beings and I am deceiving everyone with my Maya and making them act according to my will🤔

he Divine works from behind the veil of Yogamaya because of which the original Will gets distorted. Otherwise, the logical conclusion would be that all

My question is… if we, as humans, go through the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, then how does the journey 🛣️ begin? If we are the seeds of the creator, does he create new seeds as well? Or is it the same old soul that has been progressing since time immemorial? Your discourses ignite the mind with numerous questions. Please suggest some texts that are easy to understand to begin with.

The appearance of human beings marks the transition from the largely instinct driven animality tied to an upward looking partly self-conscious creature. The human form

I am taking this workshop, and I really need your feedback. 
https://aurosociety.bmeurl.co/12CC1408. You recently replied to one of my questions on the 5 elements of nature and the way you explained God Fire, God Air. I felt so expansive, able to experience divine presence/divine power more closely in me and around me…

The true physical, vital and mental can come with the psychic being as they have been integrated with the psychic being. But it is believed that the bad nature, bad actions, bad habits also travel to the next birth. These things are obviously not touched by the psychic being. These things take us away from the psychic being. So, obviously they are not integrated with the psychic. Then how can they travel to the next birth? It is said that both good and bad samskaras are carried to the next birth. Who carries those samskaras🤨?

But who has said that we carry on bad habits, bad nature to the future? In that case there will be no hope. Good and

In the visible world they are the male and female powers and energies of the universe and it is this external aspect of them as gods of the Sun, Fire, Air, Waters, Earth, Ether, the conscious-forces ever present in material being which gives us the external or psycho-physical side of the Aryan worship. The antique view of the world as a psycho-physical and not merely a material reality is at the root of the ancient ideas about the efficacy of the mantra and the relation of the gods to the external life of man; hence the force of prayer, worship, sacrifice for material ends; hence the use of them for worldly life and in so-called magic rites which comes out prominently in the Atharva Veda and is behind much of the symbolism of the Brahmanas. But in man 🙍‍♂️himself the gods are conscious psychological powers [conti]

The gods and goddesses are cosmic beings and powers that govern the physical as well as psychological aspects of existence. Agni, the force of fire

You explained it in such a wonderful way, and I have gained a lot of understanding from it. when you said, “Spirituality and the spiritual paths are not like colleges where one goes to earn a degree or get some result. Spiritual life is a vast unfolding of each one’s unique divine possibility with no reference or comparison with anyone else” You have touched me deeply, and I am very grateful for answering all my questions with your love 🙏

You have a beautiful heart. May your faith and aspiration grow and the Divine Mother guide you in…

Is there a place for conscious & kind intimacy in the spiritual journey? Why is there such a stigma to sex in the spiritual domain? Why does Indian society feel ashamed of this subject? When the idol of Shiv & Shakti itself symbolises linga & yoni in a constant sacred union bringing the balance of stillness and movement in this universe😲

The stigma of sex was not unique to Indian Society. You might have heard about the phrase Victorian morality as late as early 1900s, the
